Someone cashed a business check which we did not issue, at the bank where we do business. When we reviewed the signature, we were able to identify it as a match to another signature, which means it is either someone related to the receipt of the first check or it was an internal bank job. Assuming this was the X employee, I intend to sue for damages which are many, due to the bank closing our account and rejecting checks which we issued. Now the bank tells me they 'lost' the video showing who cashed the check. Is this possible? Are they just covering up? Can I sue them for the damages because they lost the tape and now we will not be able to solve a crime which would have been easy to solve.
Whether or not you can sue the bank for damages related to the lost video is not a banking question, it's a matter you'll have to take up with an attorney. There appear to be a lot of potential avenues that you might use to recover some of your losses. An attorney will be in the best position to advise you.
